Build an API with Bubble

Hi Guys,

I’m wondering if it is possible to build a server side Rest API with Bubble. Users of the API would have to authenticate and to do the usual things like GET, POST, PUT und DELETE which would result in receiving or manipulating information in a database.

I found examples connecting Bubble apps to existing APIs but that’s not what I want to do. I want to build the actual API other clients can connect to.

Cheers,
Henning

Awww yeah

Ok, thanks :smile:

Hi!

Yes, it’s real. I created custom client RESTfull API in last my last project.

Firstly, You need to use Postman for write body of request. Secondly, you need to create new API workflow in backend and click “detect data”. Third, send initialize request from postman to bubble.

Finally, you need to setting your backend workflow in Bubble.

First API workflow is auth: you just send login and password and set up “login user” action in bubble. Answer for this request include client token
